11. Bounty
Invite Yu was laughing at himself, and suddenly heard three bangs in the south of the market. People gathered in twos and threes. Something new seems to have happened. Invite Yu didn't think about it, so he grabbed Zimo and rushed into the crowd to join in the fun.
When the official who posted the notice saw that the crowd was gathered, he said in a loud voice, "Qiu Chigong is sympathetic to the people's feelings, and is willing to listen to the voices of the people, knowing that the villagers and elders have suffered from the monster in the miasma forest all the year round, and hereby offer a reward of fifty taels of silver to catch this monster." If there is any warrior who can subdue this monster, Qiu Chigong will personally reward him! ”
After the official finished reading aloud, the people did not react much. Just whispering and talking. Invite Yu to listen carefully, only to know that this Qiu Chi Gong Yang Sheng is a frolicking person.
Qiu Chi is located inland, Qiu Chi Gong because he has never seen the sea, he insisted on digging an artificial canal to lead the tributaries of the Yangtze River to create a fake sea! Because of the huge amount of the project, they were recklessly levied excessively, and the taxes and levies were increased several times in a year, and the tariffs of merchants were even higher than ever, which made the people's hearts unancient.
This reward for catching monsters, I'm afraid it's just a situation, just a righteous royal image.
Knowing that Qiu Chigong was just putting on a show, the onlookers quickly dispersed, and the official who issued the notice was so angry that he stomped his feet, pointed at the scattered crowd and scolded, "You, you...... What a bunch of people! ”
Invite Yu is a light in his eyes, and someone hands him a pillow when he is sleepy, isn't this stuffing the silver of white flowers into his arms, how can there be no reason?
"Zimo, let's go, let's catch the monster! I want to see if I'm a demon girl or if he's a monster! ”
Zimo hurriedly grabbed Invite Yu: "Don't be reckless." ”
Ke Zimo was a step late, and Invite Yu had already rushed up to receive the paperwork.
The official didn't expect that someone would really answer the notice, and he was overjoyed and said, "Two warriors, since you have borrowed a reward, go to the miasma forest with me!" ”
Zimo hurriedly stepped forward to stop Invite Yu, "It's getting late today, wait for the two of us to get ready, and then go with the adults tomorrow." After saying that, he gave a salute and dragged Ying Yu to the nearest inn.
Invite rain is not against it. Said loudly to Xiao Er, who came to greet the guest, "Open me two best rooms!" After speaking, he smiled and said to Zimo, "Tomorrow, we will have money, we have to enjoy it today!" "In the past few days, because they have no money, they can only sleep in the open, and they can't sleep comfortably.
As soon as the second watch drum sounded that night, Invite Yu jumped out of bed one by one, his face full of thieves' smiles. Zimo should have slept soundly by this time. deliberately asked for two rooms, just so as not to wake him up.
She knew that Zimo was worried about what danger she would encounter, but she was the most dangerous person in the world, what could she encounter more than her?
Invite Yu gently pushed open the window, and a few feet away landed on the street. After a few stretches, the person disappeared into the night.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Miasma Forest, Invite Yu was really a little stunned. The original excitement was drowned out by the fog in front of him.
In a large black forest, even if there is no miasma, you can't see your fingers, let alone the stench emitted by the miasma. The depths of the forest were as quiet as stagnant water, as if all the sounds of the outside world had been sucked in by the darkness.
Invite Yu stood in place and hesitated, thinking that he would not wait for tomorrow morning to come with Zimo. Why bother yourself to be fearless and adventurous. No matter how high his martial arts are, after all, he has just walked in the world, and there are still many things he doesn't understand. Although martial arts can kill thousands of people in an instant, it has no anti-poison effect, thinking of this, Ying Yu retreated.
Just as she turned to leave, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing quickly in the forest.
Monster! No way? Such a coincidence? Or someone else who came to catch the monster?
It's better to be a monster, so you don't have to spend looking for it in the Miasma Forest. As long as he finds it, Invite Yu is confident enough to put it down in a short time.
But if that black shadow is not a monster, then it can only be the one who came to catch the monster for the bounty. If you dare to go into the forest at night like this, this person must have two brushes.
Invite Yu thought that if someone else took the lead and snatched away those white flowers, wouldn't she regret it to death!
No way! Without anything, you can't be without silver.
Invite the rain to spread a strip of cloth from the corner of the clothes, soak it with the water in the sheepskin bag, and then cover the mouth and nose. She remembered that the book seemed to say that this method could deal with miasma in a short period of time.
After the preparation, Invite Yu jumped on the branch of the tree, and Invite Yu knew that he was not familiar with the terrain here, and if he accidentally stepped into the swamp, he would be gone.
Since Fang Cai's dark shadow moved on the branches, she followed the cat's picture. Invite Yu is secretly proud in her heart, she is invincible in the world compared to light work!
After jumping on the branches for more than half a quarter of an hour, the black shadow of Fang Cai seemed to evaporate and could not find a trace.
The shadows of the trees overlapped more and more densely, and Ying Yu's heart began to become impatient, first, she was afraid that others would seize the opportunity and catch the monster, and second, she unexpectedly felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier.
I was obviously holding my breath and moving forward, why did I still inhale the miasma? It seems that it can't be delayed any longer, and the forest must be left before the poisoning goes deeper.
Thinking of this, she followed the mark she had left on the trunk of the tree and moved towards the entrance of the forest. After just a few breaths, Ying Yu felt that his body was surprisingly heavy, and he couldn't use his previous superbly light skills at all.
She wondered in her heart, although the miasma was poisonous, it was reasonable to say that it would not be so toxic. Otherwise, if there is a windy day, the miasma floats to the town through the wind, and the people inside will not die long ago?
Although the truth is true, it has been proved that the truth cannot always be right. After a few lift-offs, Invite Yu only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then his body turned away, and he actually planted the tree straight! Eventually, he fell to the ground and fainted.
I don't know how long it took, Invite Yu slowly woke up, it seemed to be a cave in front of him, the moonlight was like pouring silver water on the entrance of the cave, Invite Yu sniffed gently, and felt that there seemed to be no miasma here. She moved her body slightly, and her whole body hurt as if it were cracking!
Suddenly, she felt someone watching her, and a quick glance around revealed two beast-like eyes in the deepest part of the cave.
Could it be a wolf? Invite Yu lamented, she was lucky enough, she had just escaped from the miasma forest and fell into the wolf's den, at this time she really regretted not listening to Zimo's words and stayed in the inn obediently.
She felt ashamed again, always thinking that her martial arts were invincible in the world, but now she was going to die just because she inhaled some miasma, which is really ironic.
Invite Yu can't move now, so he can only close his eyes and pray, Zimo, Zimo, do you hurry up and find out that I'm not in the inn? I've put some sweat medicine on you, but you have to wake up quickly!
